More About: Zesty Citrus Ceviche: A Fresh Seafood Delight
Ceviche is a dish originating from Peru that has captured the hearts and palates of seafood lovers worldwide. Traditionally made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, it is often accompanied by various seasonings and vegetables. This dish highlights the freshness of the ingredients, making it a popular choice for summer meals or gatherings. The acidity from lime juice not only adds flavor but also 'cooks' the fish, transforming its texture and color. Ceviche varies from region to region; some recipes might incorporate fruits like mango or seasoning variations, reflecting local flavors and customs. In Peru, ceviche is often served with sweet potato, corn, and a side of crispy tortilla chips, adding a delightful contrast to the zesty fish. When preparing ceviche, it’s essential to use the freshest fish available. Sushi-grade fish is recommended to ensure safety and enhance the overall experience. Pairing ceviche with a chilled glass of Pisco Sour can elevate your dining experience, creating a delightful fusion of flavors that celebrates Peruvian culture.
